Chapter 1033 New Witness
Although this thin official knew the serious consequences of perjury and did not dare to continue to do perjury, the fat official still bit Xu Yuanwai to death, which was not Xu Dafa, which undoubtedly caused the interrogation to fall into a passive situation.
Lin Weiran was more alert to Hu Niu bringing the new witness directly to the court. The lessons of the past were right in front of him. He was naturally a little more vigilant, and asked Mr. Xu, "Mr. Xu, do you recognize this woman?"
Mr. Xu glanced at him lightly, but replied contemptuously: "Mr. Master, I have already stated that I may not have been to the capital and have never met this ugly monster in my life!"
Hu Niu listened to this answer and turned her head and looked at the woman behind her seriously. However, the woman did not say anything, and seemed to be standing in the court in a regular manner, but she did not say a word.
When Lin Xuran saw this scene, he no longer dared to have too much hope for the witness, and his heart was slightly shaken.
Although he has a good memory, after four years, he had no deep impression of Xu Yuanwai. At that moment, Xu Yuanwai was kneeling in the lobby, and he really didn't dare to conclude 100% that this was Xu Dafa, not Xu Dafa.
his younger brother Xu Erfa.
As the saying goes, a book is made without coincidence. This incident may be a coincidence. Xu Dafa fled from the capital and returned to Songjiang Mansion and died suddenly. The two brothers looked very similar, which caused Hu Niu and Xiaobai to recognize the wrong person.
Although he really wanted to bring the murderer to justice and give the Xu family a little color.
But he is not the kind of person who is indistinguishable from right and wrong. If Mr. Xu was really innocent and was really admitted to the wrong person, he naturally would not insist on sending the other party to the guillotine.
As soon as I thought about it, and there was no evidence in my hands, I couldn't help but give in.
"Oh! Do you dare to say that you have never been to the capital? What I saw at that time was you. If my brother hadn't let me come out to testify, now there would be no need to find a witness!" Hu Niu glared at her eyes, looking like she
He accused angrily.
Unlike Lin Weiran, who was self-doubted, Hu Niu trusted herself separately and determined that Mr. Xu was Xu Dafa back then.
"Hao Niu has seen Mr. Xu?"
"Yes! Didn't I say that Lin Wenkui is from Gaozhou, Guangdong?"
"You guys don't know anything. Hu Niu went to the capital four years ago!"
...
When the people in the hall heard Hu Niu's words, many people were slightly stunned. However, there were many well-informed people who immediately told the whole story, which surprised many people.
Such a little girl actually dared to go to the capital to find her brother, and even exposed a murder case.
Facing Hu Niu's accusations, Mr. Xu said calmly: "Although you are the elder sister of the Mansion Chief, you can't speak so silly! When did I meet you? Please provide evidence,
It’s not about taking what my brother did on me!”
Empirical?
The officials in the hall looked at Hu Niu again, as if they really hoped Hu Niu could come up with evidence.
Hu Niu looked confident and pointed at him and said seriously: "Your eyes, your nose, your face, your beard is a little bit longer. You are clearly the big villain who murdered the little white niece. How could I possibly be
Remember wrongly!"
Why……
Everyone sighed in disappointment. Although Hu Niu's tone and expression were convincing, this alone seemed to be really not a proof.
Mr. Xu seemed very calm, but asked calmly: "How old were you?"
"I was already six years old at that time!" Hu Niu raised her chin and said proudly.
"Not to mention that the matter has been so long, can you still remember it. You were only six years old at that time, and I'm afraid you can't count the testimony!" Xu Yuanwai looked at Hu Niu contemptuously, looking quite familiar with the law.
Said .
The Ming Dynasty inherited the Tang Dynasty's Rule. People over 80 years old, under ten years old and disabled people cannot testify. In addition, officials' testimony is also restricted. If the testimony official position is higher than that of the presiding officer, it is equivalent to giving it to the presiding officer directly.
This will lead to unfair trial.
Hu Niu was still young back then, and her testimony was indeed lacking in persuasion, but it was difficult to convict Xu Yuanwai for this.
Xu Fan looked at all this with satisfaction, but said sarcastically: "Mr. Master, I don't think I want to interfere in the court! The new witness you summoned didn't say a word, but your sister made a big fuss in the court, I don't know.
People are afraid that this is your Lin family’s private hall!”
"If it was my Lin family's private hall, Lord Xu wouldn't have a chair to sit!" Lin Yanran's originally wavering heart suddenly became firm. Naturally, he firmly supported his sister, and then deliberately diverted his sight and looked at the ugly face.
The woman said, "Who is in the hall?"
"Minister Zhang!" The woman knelt down and responded, but the vocal cords seemed to be broken.
Mr. Xu gave Zhang a indifferent look, but Zhang knelt in front of him, so that he could only see his sideways. It was difficult to make a judgment just from his thin body.
Lin Qingran knew very well that the two businessmen who were asked to rebel, which made them fall into a passive situation. Even if the woman was asked to testify against Mr. Xu, it was difficult for both parties to have a common argument.
.
If Xu Yuanwai was asked to testify at the beginning, he would have tortured him, which would force Xu Yuanwai to admit his confession. But with the testimony of this fat businessman, Xu Yuanwai bit him to death and refused to confess, then the trouble would be
Talin Shiran.
Lin Weiran has never been a gambler, and it is even more impossible for a small person to make a future. Unless there is sufficient evidence, if the woman is just a one-sided statement, she may still have to withdraw her troops.
Lin Weiran just used this woman to divert everyone's attention, and did not have any hope in his heart. He asked routinely: "Do you really recognize this Mr. Xu?"
"Recognize it!" Zhang Zhi hesitated for a moment and replied hoarsely.
Lin Xuran was not surprised by this answer, and asked as usual: "What evidence do you have?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on the woman, hoping that she could show substantial evidence to convict Mr. Xu.
But many people don’t have hope, including Lin Weiran.
It is not easy to prove who a person is in this era. When Lin Qingran was the prefect of Leizhou in the past, Liu San pretended to be the magistrate of Tang Buyuan for a year, but no one discovered it.
Nowadays, the capital city is thousands of miles away from Songjiang. It is not easy to prove that Xu Yuanwai is Xu Dafa?
